More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Fact: Ithyphallophobia is the fear of seeing, thinking about or having an erect penis. Fact: You are more likely to be killed by a donkey than an airplane crash. This is a hilarious collection of little-known facts about the world that are weird, creepy, disgusting and sure to frighten the bejeezus out of anyone. This ultimate bathroom book will enlighten you to a variety of troubling truths about everything from the secret ingredient found in bottled water to what your brother was doing just before you shook his hand, from a fish that wants to swim up your genitals to how a simple airplane flight can blow out your rectum. Educational, entertaining and horrifying, this book isn't guaranteed to help you go to the bathroom, but it's certain to make your time there more enjoyable.

Bad Points
I read this whole book and made highlights of all the facts I found interesting. The total marks and highlights were 22.
Also, it's a couple years old now and some of the facts are a bit out of date.
Good Points
Alot of the facts aren't uninteresting, I'd just heard them before.
The book is referenced using the Harvard Referencing System.

Format:Paperback
I love books that are to be honest, bathroom offerings. They're full of useless facts (except for trivia) that really will amuse as well as fascinate you to a certain degree. That said this offering hit the spot as to its target yet I was really put off this title by the snide alleged humour of the author after each fact was written. It wasn't required and really took a lot of the enjoyment out of this offering. Perhaps next time, if humour is required the title could be written by someone with a sense of humour rather than additional childish adlibs.

Informative and Hilarious - plus a little scary
25 Mar 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been an avid reader of Cary's McNeal's "List of the Day" blog for a while now. As soon as I saw this book on LOTD, I quickly ordered my own copy. This book is hilarious - yet informative. Cary has a witty one-liner (or two) about each fact, and I can't tell you how many times I laughed out loud while reading. As a librarian, I appreciate how Cary listed the source for each fact, so the reader, if so inclined, could do additional research if he/she so desired. There are chapters such as food, bugs, and one of my favs, "weirdest of the weird." I'm very pleased with this book, and although I don't keep it in the bathroom, it has earned a place on my nightstand.

Hilarious
6 April 2010
Format:Paperback
A friend recommended that I buy this book. I checked out McNeal's blog before ordering the book. I immediately noticed the man is not right in the head, which is something I really respect in a writer. Now I own the book and will probably buy copies for my sick friends. It's worth the price. Even better than I anticipated.

Witty Twisted Trivia (say that three times fast!)
18 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Sure to make you laugh, this unique trivia book contains 1,001 scary, odd, revolting, and bizarre documented facts about the world. Along with each fact is a tidbit of humorous commentary from the author, Cary McNeal.
McNeal's witty wisecracks will keep you chortling, snickering, and snorting to the very end of the book. His clever use of sarcasm, puns, put-downs, hyperbole, word play, extended gags, and outright silliness will entertain and amuse you.
Those who are already fans of McNeal's writing won't be disappointed. Those unfamiliar with his caustic wit should visit his blog, List Of The Day, for further amusement.
